Marriage Look Up - Leicester 1875

[John 684]

Very keen to identify the marriage partner of Caroline Loweth in Leicester in 1875.  Two possible contenders: John Woodcock or James Freer.  Any help in establishing which one would be much appreciated!

Hi not sure if this is of help to you.
Census 1881 Caroline Woodcock 27 bn Lincs married to John 32 bn Ches furnace keeper.
John W 5 Mary E 3.
High St Scunthorpe.

Very many thanks. I suspect that this may be the wrong family with a John Freer marrying Caroline Marshall in 1873.  My Caroline was born in Rugby in 1844 but is not the Caroline Freer on the 1881 census (who was Caroline Fisher who married in Leicester in 1870).

Thanks again for the information. The search continues!

Greetings Bunnygirl,

Thanks for your interest in my conundrum. I believe the family that you have identified to be Caroline Fisher, who married James Freer (not the John that I mentioned in error above) in Leicester in 1870.  They appear again in the 1871 census, which is before the 1875 marriage that I am interested in.  I am now totally lost!

Thanks for your help.

John
